Omg. Best mexican food in London. Everything was perfect. Impressed by music they play also. Caribou! Win.
tais ~ 🌸February 5, 2017Had taco chicken tinga. It was yummy but... small portion (even for a small eater like me) makes it a bit pricey.
BC OJanuary 26, 2015This place is hit or miss sometimes. When it's not busy, the food comes out slow and cold. Waitstaff very friendly. The chicarrone de queso is yummy
Ale MaGuOctober 23, 2011i think is the closest to really mexican cuisine, really tasty BUT is actually annoying having to make a reservation and wait 25 minutes standing and blocking all the small entrance area
Milagros DFebruary 26, 2013Absolutely authentic. Opened in conjunction with one of Mexico City's best taquerias.
Kasper DavidsenOctober 8, 2013Nice atmosphere. Good food. Vent with starters and small dishes - great.
Karen MelchiorJune 18, 2011Flan is truly great! Also enjoyed the cerviche and the arrachera. Good mexican food and very central.
Lillian PaschalidiMarch 17, 2017The food was too heavy and too oily. I still think Taqueria is a lot better. However, I loved how the waiter made the guacamole at our table, this was cool.
Patrick McDermottSeptember 6, 2010Try the queso fundido with chorizo. I also love the Costras cheese tacos. Drink either the avocado or kiwi & coriander margarita!
Karina ArteagaMarch 22, 2014The Margarita was really good!!!! But the mains are very small. I would leave it as good option for cocktails only
Unfortunately this is not Mexico... So ingredients are not fully traditional, still the cactus, huitlacoche and pastor are as close as you can get from a real taqueria in Mexico. :)
Really great frozen Margaritas - pineapple is amazing! Also try the Gringa for a main course.
Paul JoyJuly 4, 2013Bring your own wine glasses - they only seem to have 4 in the entire restaurant!
DamianNovember 8, 2014Service was slow, disappointing portion size, but drinks were well-mixed. We were offered a free (tiny!) guacamole to move to a crappy table. Okay....
You should try the chicharrón con queso, it has the same flavour that in Mexico!
Do not even think about ordering the Nachos Lupita. Anyone can pile up corn chips in a bowl and put a few strips of meat on top...
- Dan Hopchet ✨February 17, 2011go down stairs, next to the bar for the best service. Avoid the spicy stuff unless you've got an iron stomach

It all started 50 years ago, with El Farolito, a taquería in a little corner of the then unknown Colonia Condesa, located just west of the historic centre of Mexico City... London"s most authentic Mexican taquería. The same tastes, ingredients, flavours and smells as found in Mexico City.
